I realize it's probably early, but can anyone find any layoff numbers? (even vague numbers, on a scale between "a few" and "a boatload" will be accepted)



I'd expect that the layoffs would be centered around the old OS. Anyone involved in the new OS is likely to be safe. Or at least that sounds like a logical approach.

I'd expect the layoffs to be around 5% maybe at most 10%, but really things can still turn around for RIM if they can get their new OS out in mass, so I think we are still not quite in a complete panic.


Hopefully they start by eliminating their redundancy of having 2 CEOs. I know that'd be my first reaction if I was a RIM engineer.
